CENTURIONS coach Paul Terzis admitted he would have to go back to the drawing board after seeing his side unceremoniously dumped out of the Buddies National League Cup.

Clearly annoyed after Leigh's quarter-final thumping (Leigh Centurions 18, Hull KR 38), Terzis said: "Clearly we have to go back to the drawing board and take a long, hard look at ourselves."

It wasn't so much the defeat that rattled the coach, it was the manner of the defeat that upset him most.

Outplayed in virtually every department, Leigh shot themselves in the foot by only completing four sets in the entire 80 minutes.

The ominous signs were there for Leigh as early as the second minute when Mark Cain's grubber kick behind the line brought Chris Charles a converted try.

Charles added a penalty soon afterwards before Leigh pulled it back to 8-6 when Paul Anderson went over.

Leigh never recovered from the moment that Lynton Stott went 60 metres for a solo try after intercepting a Simon Baldwin pass.

Tempers flared as Paul Rowley and Dane Dorahy were sin-binned. With just moments before half time Alasdair McClarron squeezed over in the corner to give Rovers an 18-6 half time lead.

Things went from bad to worse for Leigh after half time as Cain added another try and then nosed Rovers in further ahead with a field goal.

Dave Bradbury and Adrian Rainey were the second pair to be sin-binned but on his return Bradbury went in for Leigh's second try.

But the game was well out of Leigh's reach and before the end Rovers had gone in for two more tries through Paul Fletcher and Stott.

Turley grabbed a try and goal late on but Rovers had the final word with another McClarron try and Jon Wilkin field goal.
